Are you a keen orchid enthusiast or bush-walker? Then Wild Orchid Watch (WOW) is the citizen science project for you! You can install the Wild Orchid Watch (WOW) app on your mobile device, simply by typing in your internet browser: app.wildorchidwatch.org and follow the prompts. The WOW app is a progressive web app, so it sits on the web not in the app store, but looks just like a regular app once installed. The WOW project is a custom app which feeds data directly to iNaturalist. Orchid observations collected using the WOW app are identified, managed and stored by iNaturalist. If you already have an iNaturalist user name and password, brilliant! You can use this when logging into the WOW app. If not, no worries, you will be prompted during the WOW app sign-up to follow a few simple steps to create an iNaturalist username and password. The WOW app will put an icon on your home screen and after the initial signup you can always log in to the WOW app via the icon.
